A Festival filled with
superstitions and
Taboos
"Chun Jie", literally meaning the Spring Festival, is the most
important one in the Chinese calendar, as it symbolizes the
beginning of a fresh new year, heralding fresh hopes for happiness
and prosperity among mankind. This time of the year is
extremely important for reaffirming family and kinship ties.
For many, especially the not-so-close relatives, they meet just
once a year during this time. Family reunion dinners, visits
to one another's house and exchange of gifts are activities which
serve to remind the Chinese of the central position the family
occupies in society. This festival is celebrated with great
fanfare in all parts of the world that have large congregations of
the Chinese community. |
